  1. Re:They're... on Hack turns GIMP into Photoshop Look-alike · · Score: 1

    Nice... I'm totally hooked on this...

  2. a photographer here too... on Hack turns GIMP into Photoshop Look-alike · · Score: 1

    I'm spoiled by PS adjustment layers. That can't be too hard to program, right?
    And Gimp needs colour managment. A colour managment, current implemention is an insult!

  3. Very clever... on Hack turns GIMP into Photoshop Look-alike · · Score: 1

    Now I only need adjustment layers, and good bye, Photo$hop!

  4. It should be off by default.... on Google Prefetching for Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think it would make more sense if network.prefetch-next would be set to false by default. Then gearheads could turn it on if they wanted.

  5. What will happen... on Mac OS X "Tiger" Enters Final Candidate Stage · · Score: 2, Funny

    When Apple runs out of cool cat code names? Mac OSX "Hello Kitty"?

  6. Re:Simple answer: no. on Is Google Breaking Their Own Rules? · · Score: 1

    Totally. What the heck is that all about. I see the excactly same content on both links.

  7. Re:a simple thought experiment on Free Wi-Fi Threatened? · · Score: 1

    You mean, like roads?

  8. Re:What a dick. on John Gilmore's Search for the Mandatory ID Law · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yes, aren't you glad how your goverment let terrorisms control their actions...

  9. Re:Constitution on European Parliament Rejects Software Patents · · Score: 1

    Why don't you reply to this first

  10. True... on PDA Sales Fall for Third Year in Row · · Score: 1

    I have a five year old Palm V. I only need to upgrade because one of the buttons broke. :/
    Then I will maybe buy a Symbian-based phone, Palm's phones are overpriced...

  11. So? on iPod Most Popular Music Player on Microsoft Campus · · Score: 0, Troll

    IPod (iPod?) is _the_ most popular mp3 player, why not on MS campus? Does MS even make a mp3 player? /slow news day, eh?

  12. Yawn... on ASUS Barebones: Multimedia Even Sans Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    I think I'll stick with Shuttle designs...

  13. Is it in today's paper? on Firefox New York Times Ad Hits the Presses · · Score: 1

    I just want to know, I'm going to get a copy.

  14. Re:My goddamn point! on Former Turkish DMOZ Editor Draws 10 Months In Jail · · Score: 1

    Well, since Al-Qaeda doesn't exist, why not?

  15. Re:Who is surprised... on 7 Megapixel Camera Phone · · Score: 1

    I would love a phone with tazer...

  16. I second that on Online Bookmark Manager Suggestions? · · Score: 1

    Bookmark synchronizer is a life saver. Don't leave home without it.

  17. WTF is Broken Saints? on Web Comics Make The Small Screen · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The trailer seemed to be random rambling and cuts. Trailers are supposed to make movie more attractive, not less...

  18. Re:XUL on Microsoft Says Firefox Not a Threat to IE · · Score: 1

    XUL could be the magic bullet for true cross-platform development. Java is sort of there, but is still too heavy and bloated. XUL apps seems to have the right balance between flexibility, speed and easy/fast development. Check again in two years, ok? In the meantime, I'm going to try out some small apps just for fun.

  19. Re:This is great! on Examining Mac OS X 10.4's Spotlight · · Score: 1

    Well, I knew about the D1X GPS interface. (Kudos, Nikon). But it is still considered a 'toy' feature. If I could figure out a simple interface between a GPS data and EXIF data, I think it could be very useful. A $100 barbie-cam could use it.

  20. This is great! on Examining Mac OS X 10.4's Spotlight · · Score: 1

    From now on, I think every digital camera should have GPS interface.
    I could always keep a GPS receiver on me, and then update the EXIF data from the GPS data with some clever programming... (hmm... a project is born)

  21. FYI... on Examining Mac OS X 10.4's Spotlight · · Score: 5, Informative

    Just a small info. The brain behind Spotlight is Dominic Giampaolo, the same guru that wrote the fantastic BeFS for BeOS.

  22. Bleah, lame. on NTT DoCoMo Debuts Credit Card Phone · · Score: 1

    There is alreday possible to pay for parking (and other things) using phone here in Iceland. Just phone one number, and your parking is paid for. No need for special phone.
    GSM is your friend.

  23. onMouseOver? on New URL Spoofing Bug in Pre-SP2 IE · · Score: 1

    Big. Farking. Deal.
    Haven't these dorks heard about javascript's onMouseOver? Just go to fark.com and hover over the links.
    Neither works in FF, however! :)

  24. Re:Do you really think on Ask Ubuntu Founder (And Astronaut) Mark Shuttleworth · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    That is so politically incorrect and funny! I would have given you +1, Funny if I had moderator points! :D

  25. Check out Olympus m:robe on Rumors of Next Generation of Ipods · · Score: 2, Interesting

    (Yeah, silly name)
    dpreview.com (scroll down)

    Looks very interesting...
